Agile Transformation Spotlight: The Success Story of Scrum & Toyota

What is Scrum? How do Scrum and Agile Processes differ in the automotive space? When do you use Scrum in place of traditional processes? To close the day we are going to focus on a popular Agile Process: Scrum. In this forum, you will learn to determine when you need Scrum. Then you will learn how to identify the appropriate team, start and of course document the process from the story to testing.

In this talk Dave West, CEO of Scrum.org and Nigel Thurlow of Toyota Connected discuss the history and future of agility in the context of the automotive industry. They describe what the new automotive ‘agile’ operating model look likes and what it means to Toyota and their Lean approach.
